I try to keep at least a beanie and a pair of gloves in the car at all times. I can vaguely remember removing them in the middle of summer now.

So, I did what any other 21st century experiment who relies on their phone for life support would do in this situation—went to the App Store and downloaded a thermostat.

4n1/2 stars.

Not bad for 100+ reviews.

Grant camera access to the app—check. Aim device at current climate—check. Take a picture.

Check.

Now, in a few short words, describe your current climate to the in-app microphone and what you'd prefer it to be.

Little cold out here, I don't have a beanie. Can we warm it up a little, please?

'Little!' I said little like sweater weather, not wetter weather, dang!

No rain, just cold. 'Sweater - weather.'

---

---

Cold! Not FREEZING!!

Heat, stat!

---

---

Heat, not humid! Now it's heavy and palpable. Yuck. Surrounded by cicadas and crickets all over again.

Sweater weather, stat!!! Heavy dose of sweater weather like yesterday.

---

---

Too cold.

---

---

Too hot.

---

---

Way too hot!

---

---

_{Little cooler?}

---

---

_{Tiny bit cooler?}

---

Perfect!

Not bad for free. This is the lite version. Says the full version has a digital temp gauge, no voice prompts. Just enter your desired temperature in the full version and, Wa-la!

But I ain't paying no $1.99/month!
